Hi-
First run Spybot S&D. You can get it here-
Spybot
Unzip, and update. Install the updates and run. Delete all that it marks in red.
Or –(It’s a good idea to run both)
Ad-Aware
Install and update by using the globe icon. Restart your computer and run Ad-Aware.
Press scan now and select drives and/or partitions to be scanned. When done select all and click next. Remove all checked items and then reboot your computer.
Then post another log.

Thanks! I'm trying your suggestion atm. I knew that 127.0.0.1 was my own address via the IE browser… however I was reading something about redirect "hijack" etc… :angry: :(

Spybot & AdAware were ran before this generated file! Thanks again!

Have Hijack This fix all of the following by placing a check in the appropriate boxes and hitting fix checked. Make sure all browser and all Windows Explorer windows are closed before fixing.

Reboot, and delete
C:\WINDOWS\dgiufzrb.exe

For these two items,
Red Swoosh EDN Client
The Red Swoosh software has privacy implications, in that they will use personally identifiable information.

BPS Popup and Cookie shield
I am suspicious of any software by BPS, as I believe that they also use stolden code in some of their products.

Remove them using Add/Remove programs.

Dave38, Thanks a million! System seems to run faster & when in IE, at the bottom it still shows that it is "trying" to connect to 127.0.0.1… However, it does not revert my IE elsewhere or show the good ole' "Cannot detect network settings… blah"! Once again, Thanks for your time! Regards, BigVent
